CaliMonk Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Judging by the new newsupdate @ http://www.scummvm.org, i personally think the next Freeware game is going to be Flight of the Amazon Queen. This shows again that there are GREAT companies out there who see that giving away the source and releasing their old games which are no longer sold is a good thing. I still fail to see why LucasArts doesn't release some of their earlier games as Freeware, they aren't even selling their games anymore, neither do they support their own old games in anyway. ScummVM is one great project that shows there are people dedicated enough to put so much time into ways to run old games on new systems. Thumbs up to the ScummVM team, Thumbs down to LucasArts for their ignorance. ¬¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMonk Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Originally posted by Ender Mayyyybeeeeee... Well you guys already support Flight of the Amazon Queen, plus you linked to http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,1858/ where Flight of the Amazon Queen is one of the games that Steve Stamatiadis worked on. You mention he's on holiday and the Freeware release could take longer, for me its just 1 + 1 :-) But its just my mind thinking up stuff of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, yes, it's probably FOTAQ. It's not a real secret (anybody even semi-regular on our IRC channel has known about it for months and months)... we just like to pretend that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
